Don't really think Joe deserves a shot at the titles after the way he stood up Johnson before. Calzaghe said some arrogant things and burnt a lot of bridges after Johnson told him to forget a re-scheduling.Comment

It's safe to say that Johnsons moved on to bigger and better things thanks to Calzaghe back injury and personal problems.
I'd like to see how well Calzaghe matches up against the other top ranked Lt.Heavweights like Briggs/Hoye/Gonzalez first because I just dont think he can hang with the Lt.Heavyweight King Glen Johnson.Comment

JC has always run his mouth - but when it came down to it, he has never really wanted any part of the true upper class in the division. He talked about wanting to fight Roy, but he wouldn't do it unless it was in his home court so to speak, he wouldn't even go to a nuetral country to meet Jones. Recently, he was going to fight Johnson but his back problem flared up again, JC talks the talk, but he needs to stay in Europe and fight the lesser caliber opponants there, Johnson would outwork him too and he knows it. Tarver would beat JC as well.
I don't care how long he has been on top in his home town, he hasn't done squat to show he really wants to take on a real player in the division - at least not one that lives here in the States....Comment

The fight I would rather see is Calzaghe/Lacy, it would be a great stepping stone fight for winner to either move up for a bigger fight at lightheavy or down to midddleweight. But in the end I think Calzaghe will be too much of a dip to come over to the states and get some real compitision.Comment
